About this boat

A north-westerly that fills in around midday and fades overnight makes for easy sailing, with short hops between sheltered channels and an anchorage an hour or two away. That suits a first charter or a family week, with plenty of tavernas ashore and simple provisioning. The underwater lights are a rare extra for evenings at anchor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?
Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit.
How much will fuel cost?
Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~40 HP engine burns roughly 3.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 67 L ≈ €131 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.
Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?
Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.
About Zakynthos
The main marina in Zakynthos Town puts you right in the heart of the island's capital, with the Venetian castle and waterfront tavernas just steps away. It's got that classic Ionian port energy — fishing boats, ferries, and yachts all sharing the same busy stretch of water. Read more →
When is the best time to sail in Greece?
April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
